Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The method used to cook a potato on top of Mount Everest is to be stated and the reason for choosing the method is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The pressure exerted by the vapors when in equilibrium with the liquid is known as vapor pressure of the liquid. It increases as the temperature increases. The boiling of a liquid starts when its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
